I don’t think getting 5 billion woukd be that hard; it’s a fraction of a percent of U.S. budget. Foreign aid, UN, military budgets in Syria, Afganistan, Iraq.
He could sell some federal land, real estate. He should sell the surplus ammo to the public, we might need it if the Dems take over.

I hope lots of things. Definitely the OMB/RIF’ing of fedworkervermin is under the control of the Executive branch.

Pelosi and the democrats have narrowed down Trump’s choices for action.

If Trump declares a “national emergency” and tries to build the wall without Congressional approval ... and the government is fully reopened next week ... then the Democrats will be walking all over Trump for two years.
Think about it:
The next Pelosi funding bill out of the House will include a provision that outlaws the use of Defense Dept. money for the wall. You can bank on this.
They can’t walk on him if he doesn’t sign their precious bills. What can they do, make ugly faces at him?

Mitch McConnell will never let a bill like this get a floor vote in the Senate if he knows Trump will veto it.

You're missing the point.
If Trump doesn't stand firm THIS time, there's no reason for anyone to believe he'll stand firm NEXT time.

Suspend aid to Mexico.
Partner, Yes indeed plus all other Central American countries will no longer receive Foreign Aid.
We need a Southern Border Wall and if the Southern Border Wall gets built, my prediction is President Trump will win reelection easily.
Partner, the DemonRat party thinks it is their money and it is the Tax payer who funds the government.
They are only spending about $4.6 Trillion dollars and they only get $4 Trillion from the Taxpayers of our great nation./s

What is standing firm and what is not standing firm, in your view?

Line Item Veto?

Yup, the comment you responded to didn’t seem to realize there are two Legislative bodies and a Chief Executive to get through.

Yeah but it would be nice for him to at least try :)

Simple math: 100,000 worker rif from federal government payroll at salary + benefits $85,000/year = $8.5 Billion.
Voila!

Standing firm is making Congress do their jobs.
Almost everyone in Congress -- including most Republicans -- wants Trump to declare a national emergency and get the border security issue out of their hands. For the Republicans, it's because they support open borders but they don't want to vote that way because their voters will walk away from them.

The U.S. does not have a line item veto.

Maybe close the border and redeploy folks to save money?

I bet he regrets not twisting Paul Ryan’s arm before dems took over.

What makes you think the Repubs in Congress don’t want funding for border security?
The Dems will refuse to pass a bill with border security $ even if it means they strangle to death on their own bile.
Meanwhile, every single day, horrible crimes continue to happen because of the open border. Jihadis flowing in as well. There’s a lot more at stake than politics and who thinks who looks good or doesn’t.
